Icefield.

A cold wind howled through the black coniferous forest.

The pervasive smell of blood attracted the apex predator of the icy plains, the massive Icefield Wolf.

It was over two meters tall, nearly three meters, with its deep blue eyes staring at a patch of snow.

There, there was a human figure lying down.

If it's a dead body, the Icefield Wolf won't even look at it; it will simply leave.

As the overlord of the ice field, it possesses its own pride, only eating the food it hunts.

But just as it was about to leave, it sensed the 'living' presence of its target.

The Icefield Wolf hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward, its nose twitching slightly.

It saw a young human, dressed in rags and stained with blood, but he was indeed still alive!

As a predator, it opened its jaws, revealing its sharp fangs.

The next moment!

Boom!

A terrifying sense of oppression erupted from the humanoid figure.

It was a terrifying mental force field, like the might of Dragon Might! Although much Weakness, it was still as fierce as a tiger, carrying a terrifying sense of danger!

The scent of another apex predator caused the Icefield Wolf to hesitate for a moment before retreating.

It is a very intelligent animal.

Given an abundance of food to hunt, one would not rashly engage in combat with a creature that exudes danger.

"Is that... a wolf?"

After barely managing to gather his Inspiration and scare away the Icefield Wolf, Sulu suddenly opened his eyes.

white.

Snow-covered.

He was in what seemed to be a frozen wasteland, the cold constantly assaulting his body and causing him to lose heat rapidly, reminding him that he had to move quickly and find a place to warm up, or he risked freezing to death!

"Cold... dangerous..."

Where... am I?

Sulu's thinking slowed down for a moment.

He breathed calmly, letting his Inspiration slowly return.

Finally, more memories surfaced: Harris City, the Mystery Market, the Gate of Otherworlds...

"An unknown location... it seems I've succeeded..."

Sulu was slightly pleased, but he immediately felt Weakness, terribly Weakness!

Even during my last Spirit World Travel, coupled with the Soul Burning, I wasn't this Weakness.

The passive effect of [Sturdy LV4] seems to have stopped working.

No! Sulu could still sense its presence and was trying to recover his body, but the effect was very weak.

"Something's not right... Compared to last time, all my attributes have been enhanced, and I also have the passive skill boost... Why is this happening? And what about the Spirit Pressure from before! Even though it was just a barely manageable attempt, an ordinary creature should have been terrified... The skill effect seems to have weakened considerably as well."

Sulu lay there for another ten minutes or so, enduring the excruciating pain of every movement, which felt like being stabbed several times, before finally sitting up.

"Ice and snow? Forest... I think I've really entered another world?"

He could hardly believe it.

In my memory, crossing the Gate of Otherworlds was an extremely painful process.

The feeling was like being crushed at the bottom of a mountain, or being sunk directly into a deep trench in the ocean, with terrifying pressure coming from all directions.

Even with his physical strength and willpower, he couldn't hold on until the end and fainted.

When I regained consciousness, I was here.

"It should have been a success, but this world..."

Sulu took a deep breath, his face suddenly turning ashen.

He sensed the Spirit World, but his current Inspiration did not allow him to delve into it, not even the most superficial first layer!

"Something's not right... the speed at which Inspiration returns is too slow."

Sulu closed his eyes again, sensing the various energy fluctuations in the void.

Half a day later, he opened his eyes listlessly, a bitter smile on his face, "If the Federation before was in the midst of the resurgence of the gods and the arrival of the Spirit Tide, then this region is practically like the Twilight of the Gods... Extraordinary power exists, but it's at a low point, almost exhausted, which is... the so-called low magic era?"

He was now certain that he had entered another world.

Because in the Main World, even on the Dark Continent, the Spirit Tide wouldn't exhibit such differences!

"Oh no..."

Sulu's original plan was simple.

Even if you travel to another world, as long as you successfully become a [Planeswalker], you might be able to find your way back, and even find traces of your true homeland.

But he forgot one thing!

Not all worlds support the existence of supernatural powers!

"Encountering a low-magic world is both my misfortune and my fortune... If it were a world without magic, with strict physical rules, I would be completely lost..."

"Furthermore... even if this world is equivalent to Twilight of the Gods in the Main World, it doesn't matter. At least during Twilight of the Gods in the Main World, the birth of fourth-tier master-level professionals was still supported... it's just that opening the Gate of Legends will become extremely difficult, almost impossible!"

"But escaping from that desperate situation was already quite an achievement... Besides, I have Attribute Panel; if others can't, I might be able to."

He tried to stand up, his legs trembling, and couldn't help but smile wryly, "I... look like an old man now."

Fortunately, Sulu has a strong ability to adjust himself and recovered from his depression in no time. He broke off a branch to use as a cane and surveyed his surroundings.

"Ice plains, forests... and that giant wolf from before... this place seems quite dangerous."

His current physical condition simply does not support him traveling far.

Thinking back to the giant wolf that had just been driven away, Sulu decided to stay where he was.

Predators generally have a sense of territory, so apart from that giant wolf, there should be fewer other dangers here.

Sulu looked at his right hand and saw that he was still wearing the ' Greed ' glove, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If this thing breaks too, his losses will be enormous.

"However... in this world, unlocking Curio requires more Inspiration and is more exhausting..."

Sulu took a few breaths, feeling that all the Inspiration he had accumulated during his long rest had been devoured by the Greed Glove. He finally managed to open a crack in the void and hurriedly took out the Demon Hunting Dagger, a few pieces of warm clothing, medicine, canvas and other miscellaneous items.

Several hours later.

A small hut has appeared in the coniferous forest.

It was mainly constructed of tree branches and covered with a canvas. Although it was a bit drafty, it was still better than being directly exposed in the wild.

Sulu gathered some more firewood, preparing to light a fire.

He thought for a moment, then took out a Thaumaturgy Card that had sealed the ' Lesser Fireball ' and broke the seal.

With the chanting of an incantation, the Thaumaturgy Card vanished without a trace, and a wisp of orange flame appeared on his fingertip.

Sulu stared at the tiny flame for a long time, then couldn't help but give a bitter smile, "Is this Ragnarok?"

During Twilight of the Gods, supernatural powers existed, but were extremely weak.

The consequence is a significant reduction in the effectiveness of various magical abilities!
